Predators' Jake Lucchini: Called up Saturday

Lucchini was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Saturday, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

It'll be Lucchini's first stint in the NHL with the Preds after he appeared in 40 games with Minnesota last year, logging two goals and five points. The 29-year-old Lucchini could slot into Nashville's bottom six against the Islanders on Saturday, with Gustav Nyquist serving as a healthy scratch due to trade speculation.
